[Xen-devel] [PATCH for-4.12 v2 15/17] xen/arm: p2m: Add support for preemption in p2m_cache_flush_range

[Julien Grall <julien.grall@xxxxxxx>]

p2m_cache_flush_range does not yet support preemption, this may be an
issue as cleaning the cache can take a long time. While the current
caller (XEN_DOMCTL_cacheflush) does not stricly require preemption, this
will be necessary for new caller in a follow-up patch.

The preemption implemented is quite simple, a counter is incremented by:
    - 1 on region skipped
    - 10 for each page requiring a flush

When the counter reach 512 or above, we will check if preemption is
needed. If not, the counter will be reset to 0. If yes, the function
will stop, update start (to allow resuming later on) and return
-ERESTART. This allows the caller to decide how the preemption will be
done.

For now, XEN_DOMCTL_cacheflush will continue to ignore the preemption.
